White Calla lilies and Gerberas

 Back we go to the start of the wedding season. Our first bride was on Mothering Sunday, not a day we generally agree to do weddings but Hayley wanted simple designs for her and her maids with a few buttonholes so we agreed.
Hayley's bouquet was a mass of white calla lilies with aspidistra leaves curled around them with the stems bound with another leaf and pinned with pearl headed pins.

 The five bridesmaids each carried an overarm bouquet of six white gerberas with aspidistra leaves, to tie in with the brides flowers, and bear grass. The stems were bound with white satin ribbon.

The groom wore a white calla lily buttonhole with curled aspidistra strips and bear grass while the grooms-men each wore a single white germini buttonhole.

Rose and gerbera wedding

Suzanne's wedding flowers from August. She wanted her flowers to be unfussy but pretty to match the wedding colour theme of pink. We eventually settled on a mix of roses and germini in white and baby pink. Suzanne also requested some sparkle in her bouquet so some diamanté were added to the centre of the roses. The stems were wrapped in matching pink ribbon and held with more diamanté pins.

The three bridesmaids carried a hand-tie posy of germinis in white, baby and cerise pink, with stems bound in white satin ribbon.
All the men wore white germini buttonholes with ruscus foliage.
The two mums wore a white germini wrist corsage on an ivory pearl band.

Colourful gerbera wedding

When Katerina first came to see me she knew exactly what flowers she wanted. She brought a picture of a gerbera bouquet in mixed colours and asked if I could reproduce it. Included are yellow, burgundy, red, pink and orange gerberas with palm leaves as a collar.

It was to be a colourful wedding with orange as the main colour.
The two flower girls each had a wrist corsage of an orange germini with rolled orange rose petals and ruscus and bear grass. The smaller one was attached to an ivory organza ribbon as the bracelets are just too large for little wrists.
The older flower girls corsage was attached to an ivory pearl bracelet.
They each carried a small basket decorated with burgundy satin ribbon and bows, filled with rose petals in red, orange and yellow. The petals are placed in a bag for ease of delivery.
Three ladies buttonholes of a burgundy germini with ruscus leaves and bear grass loops.
All the men in the bridal party wore a gorgeous orange germini buttonhole.

Bordeaux and Ivory Gerbera Wedding Flowers

This is Claire's wedding from Saturday.

A lovely, non-fussy, wedding based on gorgeous gerbera flowers.

Claire's bridesmaids wore bordeaux coloured dresses and we colour matched this as closely as possible for the brides bouquet. Designed to be carried over the arm, the style works best with big flowers, giving each bloom room to show off. Backed by a deep green aspidistra leaf and three folded leaves at the base give it a structured look, bear grass is added to create movement.

The stems were completely bound with matching satin ribbon and pinned with pearl headed pins.
Claire's older bridesmaid carried a similar design with bordeaux and ivory gerberas to compliment her dress.
The 3 young bridesmaids each carried a small basket of bordeaux and ivory germinis with ruscus foliage and matching ribboned handles.
The corsages were based on germinis with amaranthus and various foliage.
The male buttonholes again were bordeaux germinis and dark green foliage.

Pink white and yellow wedding flowers

Rachael's colourful wedding based on the colours of a beach hut.

When I first spoke to Rachael she admitted she really wasn't that keen on flowers and didn't want many on her wedding day but had been told she must carry something and what could I advise.

Bringing a photo of a fabulous beach hut, all in pinks, yellows and greens, with her we decided to keep everything simple and use less flowers but in a colour that would stand out.
A gorgeously simple hand-tie of 4 cerise pink gerberas and 3 white anastasia chrysants surrounded by a collar of dark green aspidistra leaves, tied with matching pink satin ribbon was chosen for Rachael to carry.
Her two bridesmaids each had a lovely silver wand with a matching pink germini and ribbon trails.
The two Mothers had a similar corsage, one with white roses, the other with yellow.
The men of the bridal party had an assortment of germini to choose from, pink, yellow and white.

This was the display for the registrars table at Washingborough Hall Hotel. Again keeping with the colour scheme and just the 3 types of flowers, Gerbera, Germini and Anastasia, with aspidistra leaves all arranged in a glass cube.

This shows what can be achieved on a small budget for a bride who isn't into flowers. This was a fun wedding to do with a colour scheme which normally wouldn't be used but was personal to the bride.
